My next question was going to be who would do it. We are dealing with a legacy, as it were. It is a legacy of reams and reams of work that has built up over decades of different decisions. We would almost have to track back all the different decisions. Certainly, when we were looking at tax expenditures, it seemed like often the Department just did not know that was happening, or it had not reviewed it in a long time. I wonder if it would be possible to undertake that kind of work in-house. I would almost expect it to have more eyes on it than just that. Would it be fair to say that we would need a more robust system for any kind of tax consolidation than just the Department doing it?
